View Sample Alloy Digest Data Sheet (PDF)

Since 1952, Alloy Digest has been the leading reference for materials property data on metals and alloys used throughout the world. Featuring graphs, charts and tables, these sheets give facts and figures on composition or characterization, physical and mechanical properties, heat treatment, and machinability.

The 50 Nickel-Iron Alloy is recommended for glass-to-metal seals. It is used with such glasses as Types 0120 and 9010 that have higher than normal thermal expansion and with certain ceramics. It is used in a number of applications where expansion must be almost linear to 1000 F. The 50 Nickel-Iron Alloy has relatively good mechanical properties; in fact, at room temperature it has a tensile strength of 80,000 psi and an elongation of 35%.
